Surpassing Carnot efficiency with relativistic motion
Dimitris Moustos, Obinna Abah
Relativistic thermal devices offer a unique platform for understanding the interplay between motion, quantum fields, and thermodynamics, revealing phenomena inaccessible to station…

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations for relativistic quantum thermal machines
Dimitris Moustos, Obinna Abah
We investigate a two-qubit SWAP thermal machine -- a streamlined analogue of the four-stroke Otto cycle -- whose working medium comprises inertially moving Unruh-DeWitt qubit detec…

Quantum thermal machines in BTZ black hole spacetime
Dimitris Moustos, Obinna Abah
We investigate an Otto thermodynamic cycle with a qubit Unruh-DeWitt detector as the working medium, coupled to a massless, conformally coupled scalar quantum field in the Hartle-H…
